Aubergine

Aubergines are also known as Eggplant. Although growing eggplants / aubergines is typically done in warmer climates, they can still be easily produced in Britain, either raised in a greenhouse or plastic tunnel, in grow bags or in a large pot on a sunny but sheltered patio. Aubergines are similar to tomatoes and the plants require a high potash tomato food once a week when the first fruits have set. Stake plants for extra support. Once harvested, they are versatile in the kitchen and are used in many Mediterranean style dishes!
